Time, Budget, Manpower, and Scope

Worst idea in this thread so far. Players are not game designers. You'd be better off asking pigeons about the price of fish.

Players tell what is fun for them and what is not. Blizzard had to do a 180 on Legion Remix now because they got overwhelming feedback on what people want and don't want. They added new stuff, experimented with others, but the feel had to be changed because players did not want the original version (as in really bad). The goal is not to get design decisions from players but to get a rate on the content and adjust accordingly.

That, and, some of the players are, in fact, game designers and enterprise SAAS architects who might actually have something useful to contribute.

That's getting feedback, which is fair. It's a world apart from treating the player base as a creative team.
